A filibuster is typically used by a minority party or group of senators in the U.S. Senate to delay or block a bill they oppose. By extending debate on the legislation, they can prevent a vote from taking place, effectively killing the bill or forcing negotiations. This tactic is often employed when the minority lacks the votes to defeat the bill outright but seeks to express their opposition or push for amendments.

I believe that filibuster is a great part of our government. Right now since the democrats have the senate majority it will be hard for the republicans to stop bills from being voted on that they don't agree with.

So it really can help minority parties try and get a say in the government even if they don't have equal representation.
